CHORUS:
     Cm
Well my heart knows what

The wild wind knows
                              G
And I must go where the wild wind blows
Cm         Bb
Wild wind brother wind
G#       G
Wich is best
   Fm
A wonderin' fool
     G        Cm (riff)
Or a heart at rest

Cm                  Fm
Tonight I heard the wild wind cry
                      G        Cm
Blowin' north in the desert sky
                   Fm
Tried to sleep why even try
                    G          Cm
Tonight I heard the wild wind cry

CHORUS

Cm                    Fm
A woman was kind and true to me
                                  G          Cm
Well, she thinks she loves me the more fool she
                      Fm
She's got a love that ain't no sin 

But she can't love the brother
       G      Cm (riff)
Of the wild wind

CHORUS

Cm
The cabin is warm
         Fm
And the snow is deep

And I've got a woman
    G          Cm
Who lies asleep

She'll wake up at
    Fm
Tomorrow's dawn

And fine soon enough
         G      Cm (riff)
That her man is gone

CHORUS
(let me fly, let me fly away)

Cm
Spring is comin'
        Fm
And the ice will break

And I can't linger
       G         Cm
For a woman's sake

She'll see a shadow
     Fm
Pass overhead
 
And she'll find
        G          Cm (riff)
A ring beside her bed

CHORUS
(Let me fly)
